An interesting feature of the jubilee

THE HAND OF THE PEOPLE.

That rings have poached the public lands,
manipulated entries, perpetrated ingenious
frauds in contract and scrip surveying and
in other ways defrauded the people and the
Government, is fact too well known to
need argument. That these land rings
should be broken up to prevent future eI-
ploitS in the same direction, is a necessity
acknowledged by the whole country. That
they can only be broken up by pursuing
them with the penalties provided by law
would seem to be self-evident. That such
pursuit is attended by the gravest difficult
ties and in the face of strong financial and
political influence, is confirmed by the ex-
perience of all who have undertaken it,
Alta California.
The above extract from the Alta is
pertinent. 1t is Democratic view, and
therefore national one. 1t is a state
ment Of facts with which the people have
long been familiar, and facts which the
people wish wiped out. "That rings
have poached the public lands, perpe-
trated ingenious frauds in contract and
scrip surveying, and in other ways de-
frauded the people and the Government"
is fact too we'll known for argument.
1t is a fact which has long been
a standing disgrace to the Nation.
1t is fact which has been
made a part and parcel of Re-
publican rule, or rather misrule. 1t is a
fact to which Republicanism was for long
years largely indebted to for corruption
supplies. In fact, it was Republicanism
itself, for the system of land corruption
was created and maintained by the Re-
publican party. Under no other power
was it known, and with the downfall of
Republican Administration came the
righteous attack on the organized land
plunder. This attack was made by
a Democratic Administration. And that
it should be made, was one of the leading
motives inspiring the people in the eleva-
ton of the Democracy to power. 1t is
the people who are attacking the land
frauds. The public lands are the heri-
tage of the masses, and the masses are
wrestling their birthright from thieves. 1t
is the people who are the assailants. 1t
is the Nation who is assaulting
the rotten rings, and corrupt
corporations. And the assault will sue
ceed, as will everything else the people
are in earnest about. In the same ar

ticle from which We have made an ex-
tract, the Alta cites the case of Repub-
lican special land agent under Arthur's
administration who discovered far.
reaching land frauds in California. The
agent was honest and jealous,
and pushed his discoveries. His
zeal in doing his duty speedily
reached the ears of the Republican
administration he served, and he was
rewarded by summary dismissal from his
position. Under the present Admins
tration these same frauds have been
taken up at the point the over-zealous
Republican special agent left them, have
been vigorously pushed, and a large
namber of land thieves have just been
indicted by Federal grand jury. And
so the good work goes on. Cor
rupt rings and corporations have
got to go, and the rings and corporations
of the corrupt Republican land system
are especially stencil in the nostrils of
the people Republican venom is wasted
on Land Commissioner Sparks. In the
first place, his honesty has only con-
tempt for those who defend corruption,
and in the next place he is but the
effective instrument of a Democratic
Administration, and the Democratic
Administration has the Nation at its
back. Mr.. Sparks may have made mis-
takes. Mistakes are natural. But Mr..
Sparks mistakes have been incidental
and isolated. They cut no figure in the
great scheme of reformation he is so
energetically and effectually carrying to
final and glorious consummation.

OUR REAL ESTATE.

The Salt Lake real estate boom is sur
passing itself. The sales last week ag-
gregated $152, 200. OF these the most
important was the sale of the st. James
Hotel and the corner north of it for the
handsome sum of $4,000. The sale
was made by the Walker Brothers to the
strong syndicate of Colorado capitalists
who have lately invested SO heavily in
Salt Lake real estate. This is the
transaction referred to editorially in THE
DEMOCRAT last week, as one that would
probably result in the erection on the
property of an immense business block,
or a magnificent hotel. Since the con-
summation of the purchase, this proba
bility has developed into certainty, and
the business block or the hotel will be
built. The sales of the real estate firm
of White & Co. during last week
amount to $25, ,45O, and include some
very desirable properties. The smaller
sales, a complete list Of which were given
in Saturdays DEMOCRAT, were numerous,
and handsome prices were realized.
This week promises to be fully equal to
last in mammoth transactions, and in
Salt Lake real estate parlance, several
STARTERS" are to dazzle the public.
Our real estate boom is no longer a
visitor 1t is domiciled. 1t has become
resident, and its familiar presence is
daily exerting its benefcent influence
upon the fortunate city it has chosen
for its western home

POODLE JUSTICE.

The New York tough and mur- dercr, McGrath, who killed Mr. McKcgncy, the aged carpenter for expressing his prcdIlectlon for the Labor Party's candidate for Mayor just previous to the last eIec ton, has been found guilty of "man- slaughter in the second degree. McGrath was one of the heclcrs of those "savlors of society," known as the "dcmocratic' party, with Abram $. Hewitt as chief savior. While not in favor of capital punish ment we cannot see what good reason there was for not convicting this murderer of murder in the first de- gree. The villain should be made to cxpiate his crime by lifelong hard labor. He should be well taken care of physically so that his services to the State might be prolonged,
 But Murderer McGrath was a natural product of the system, social and political, represented by the dominant parties. He was q "dem- ocratic" politician.

A NATIONAL LABOR PARTY.

The conference to be held in Gin cinnati on the 22d of February will no doubt be of great importance to the political labor movement in this country. It IS needless, perhaps, to point out the necessity for frankncss and d due consideration for the opinions of the various organizations that will be represented. Romcm- boring that 1t is to be a conference, the delegates should be prepared to present the views of their constitu- cnts in calm and temperate man ner; and the importance of the meeting should induce all to strive to lend 1t the dignity which the yi- tal questions under consideration deserve.
 The outcome of this conference. if properly conducted, may be the formation of d National Labor Party with manifestations in all the cities and towns in this broad land, through the union of mon who be- ljeyo in clean political movement in addition to the organization of workers in the various branches of industry as labor unions.
 While We cannot reasonably hope to immediately enroll the entire memberships of the many industrial organizations which will send repre- SentatiyeS to this convention. there is still good ground for anticipating that in all those organizations there will be found a number of advanced thinkers and staunch believers in d separate and distinct political party the Labor Party. Already have the workers in many cities shown d desire to transfer the war of enamel patton from the factory and counting room to the ballot-bOx. The glori- ous results of the late elections in
